Alex Ferguson prefers an English core to his team and squad, something we seem to be trying to get rid of which I don't agree with. I'll bite. Because we didn't offer Nolan the stupid contract he wanted, or because we accepted the massively inflated fee for Carroll?

Unfortunately I can't count myself a smug know-it-all about Allardyce, was happy with his appointment, didn't take long for the good will to evaporate though. Souness was a proper wtf, but likewise I was delighted when we appointed Fat Sam thought he would do well for us I hated both appointments. I am win.

Can't even get on the site tonight

No, because that would be brazenly twisting his words. Well done for being the first though. Why haven't we replaced him then? Surely having two left backs at the club is not that outlandish? Every other team in the division seems to manage it OK. Can you name any other team in the division who has two "first-choice" left backs? Man City maybe.... I'm not sure it's possible to have two first choice leftbacks, but there are certainly a lot more teams in the division who have two senior leftbacks than those that don't have 1 recognised leftback in their entire first team squad You said every team in the division has two left backs at the club. Now you've said "senior" left backs. Who is Chelsea's 2nd senior left back? Or Arsenal's? Or Man United's?

Got no right to support Newcastle then.

Didn't bother visiting for the 2-1 defeat then yeah?

It is Dave, yeah.

Who was a winger at the time. Obertan our new striker ;-)

Good defending.

Hardly. Walked.

How does Barry get into this Man City team?

Barca-like.

How does Milner get into City's team??

Why? Last season. Think the nonesense about Ben Arfa being x weeks away from comeback, which then never happened, of course. Even the Carroll thigh injury seemed a bit fishy. The Carroll thigh injury that he still had for a few weeks at Liverpool?

Guess we'll find out who we've signed soon?

Is that because we could sell him for a massive profit next summer? And invest the huge sum in another free transfer. And that free transfer scores more the following season, who is then sold for a massive profit, which is invested in another free transfer who scores even more etc etc ooh, both football and business sense. Gotta hate it.

It's not long since people were complaining that players had too much power. Now our club are taking that power back, people are complaining again. £50k a week for Nolan? You're having a laugh aren't you?

Newcastle have ended their interest in Wigans Charlie NZogbia while Chelseas £20million Dan Sturridge although he has admirers at St James Park is not a serious target. Now £10 million on Sturridge would be a great investment imho as the Ashley mandate is to buy and sell at a profit and could be worth £30 million at the end of next season if he keeps improving ,so worth a punt and i would be happy him wearing the no 9 shirt . So we should buy £20m rated Sturridge for £10m. Why didn't Ashley think of that? I think we should buy him for £2m. Imagine the sell on value then!!!

Hasn't harmed the current right back tbf

You what?

Replacing Routledge in the squad. Still room for Zoggy, have no fear.

Yeah, I forgot to comment

Like Keegan.
